The BBC Games Archive - digital memories

Database Software

This was the software publishing side of Database Magazines, which was later known as Europress Publications, the company which owned 'The Micro User'. I think they hold the rights to the 'Fun School' range of educational games, but I am not adding those to the archive because they are not really games. I think the company still runs software, I know for sure that the derivative of the Micro User is still running.

Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

Educational game in which you have to move through the maze to get to the exit, on the way you get asked Maths, Memory and Word puzzles which you have to solve to continue. Its very basic graphics, but good fun, I think this was an educational title.

Button basher featuring quite a few events, the only downside being they are all quite separate, you just compete in them etc, there is no competition mode. The graphics are quite good and it plays well though, worth a good play. Was also re-released by Alternative Software as Olympic Spectacular.

Red Arrows

A pretty damn good simulation of the Red Arrrows. This is extremely difficult, just like in real life. You have to fly with the Red Arrows, performing all their aerobatic manouveurs. It is a bit samey, there isn't much to do once you've mastered the flying in formation part of things.
